TIGO SF3D coordinate measuring machine for the shop floor

2 TIGO SF | Coordinate measuring machine for the shop floor

ONE FLOW WITH TIGO SF

In production you are aiming at a constant flow from milling,

drilling, threading, and grinding, all the way to final inspection.

A smooth flow from A to... T!

TIGO SF is the most accurate measurement tool to include

quality assurance seamlessly in your production line. Thanks

to its features it is absolutely robust against all the challenges

which coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) are faced with on

the shop floor.

And the best part of it all: everyone can measure with TIGO SF.

The intuitive operating concept opens up the world of metrology

to everyone. No matter if you are familiar with measurement

tools or if you are in uncharted waters – TIGO SF is for you.

With TIGO SF you are fully equipped to measure your workpieces

- easy and efficient, directly on the shop floor.

MEASURE THE TIGO SF-WAY

TIGO SF is revolutionizing the way you interact with a

measurement tool. With TIGO SF operating a shop floor CMM is

more ergonomic, easier to understand and faster than ever.

Ergonomic Workstation

All interfaces were designed around the idea to create an

ergonomic and smooth workflow. The touchscreen is placed on

a mount which can be positioned exactly where you need it. An

additional keyboard still gives you the flexibility to switch to more

conventional ways of operating the CMM. The new ergonomic

hand-held Jogbox is the ideal tool for operations demanding

freedom and robustness. As an option TIGO SF is available with a

standard desk replacing the mount. An easy-to-reach USB port

facilitates data exchange.

Common Symbology

“Easy-to-understand” was on top of the list when developing

TIGO SF. Common symbology is one of the keys. Be it the PC-DMIS

TOUCH graphical user interface or the Jogbox – the symbols are

the same throughout for straightforward operations.

LED Status Lights

Optional messaging LEDs mounted on the vertical axis allow for

the clear view of the machine and program status from any part

of your factory floor. It is clearly visible if the part is still being

measured or if TIGO SF needs the operator to perform a certain

operation.

Compact Size

TIGO SF is the all-in-one measuring machine for production:

In the standard version PC, controller and peripherals such as

the touchscreen and the keyboard are all mounted to the same

base. Thus, TIGO SF requires minimum space on the shop floor.

Compressed air is not needed. Place this CMM anywhere on your

shop floor. If circumstances demand a different location it can

easily be relocated.

Scanning and point-to-point

In its standard configuration TIGO SF is equipped with the fixed

HP-S-X1 sensor for maximum performance in scanning and

point-to-point probing. For enhanced flexibility the automatic

indexable HH-A probe head is also compatible with this CMM.

5TIGO SF | Operating concept

IN TOUCH WITH TIGO SF

The new PC-DMIS TOUCH software guides you safely through

the measuring process with guided workflows. Each step of the

process is shown in full-screen mode and is marked with unique

color. Graphics of the measured elements appear in the center

of the software interface. The icons at the bottom edge of the

screen allow you to quickly switch to other functional areas of

PC-DMIS TOUCH.

Measure

With PC-DMIS TOUCH you can check individual characteristics

without a measuring program. Automated measuring routines

are there to guide you through more complex tasks. Elements

that have already been measured can be found in a list or in the

graphic display, or a new element can be measured.

Report

While the characteristics are measured, you can select whether

the respective data appear in the report or not. Access to the

report is available with a swipe of the finger to the right. It

contains a clear graphic display which tells you at a glance: Is my

part in or out of tolerance?

Upgrade

For more demanding applications the conventional PC-DMIS and

QUINDOS versions are available. Still, the unskilled worker on the

shop floor is able to execute measurement programs with the

intuitive PC-DMIS TOUCH interface.

Connectivity

For a constant information flow TIGO SF can easily become part

of your network – either on a wired or wireless basis. Via your

network you can send measuring programs directly to the CMM

and receive measurement data from it.

RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE

With TIGO SF you are able to measure accurately where it

matters most in terms of quality: directly in production. TIGO SF

brings sophisticated measurement technology to the shop floor.

Extended temperature range

Enhanced structural temperature compensation for

accurate measurements in a temperature range from 15

to 30° C.

Individually re-certified scale bars for top measuring

reliability and high accuracy even in harsh environments.

Measuring table made of granite, material known for being

thermally-stable.

Vibrations

Passive dampers protect the machine from common

vibrations on the shop floor.

Active dampers are available as an option for extra

protection.

Dust and Dirt

The machine is protected with bellows against

contamination on the shop floor.

An IP54-certified machine base for additional protection

against environmental effects is optionally available.

Automation

Open access to the measurement range: loading is

possible from three sides – be it manual or automated.

Set-up and Servicing

As TIGO SF is very compact and does not require

compressed air it can be placed anywhere in production,

absolutely seamlessly.

Thanks to its robustness TIGO SF requires minimum

servicing.
